The Sitz Probe

Hello to the many fans of my blog. Sorry I have not written in some time. I have been wrapping things up with my last semester of school. I am going to be doing some back blogging. This entry is from 5/9/12. On this day, Skylight had its sitz probe for "Sunday in the Park with George." Before the cast showed up Gary showed me how to prep the microphones for the evening. This was the first day I met the cast and that the cast met the orchestra. I was nervous and when that happens I become quiet.  To start things off Gary and I met the cast in the dressing rooms to fit them with mics. Gary also explained to the cast how to wear the microphones and how to secure the cables. The whole purpose of the sitz probe is for the orchestra and cast to hear each other for the first time. This was a great experience for me because I was able to observe the way that Gary interacts with the cast and also for me to observe the way he works the sound board. The sitz probe lasted for a few hours and at the end of the night I was shown the Gary's way of collecting the mics. At the end of the evening Gary and I discussed the schedule for the next couple of days and I was on my way home for the evening.

Until next time.....
